I am writing to thank you for the fine & expedient service specific to the above graffiti removal request.

This is in fact, the third or forth time in which I have utilized this particular vendor(s) and each & every time I have generated a removal request, the graffiti is removed in a remarkably timely manner. Additionally, the removal work has never been sloppy or incomplete. They simply do a great job with a very stubborn problem and I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation.

I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the graffiti was removed. In the current state of economics, I hope the City can continue to provide this service. In the fight against crime, rapid graffiti abatement is more important as rapid police response and a visible police presence.

EL SERENO

I just wanted to say thank you and how much I appreciate your efforts for taking care of this graffiti request on a timely basis. I apologize for asking over and over again, but it is apparent that these taggers love this wall because it directly faces Chatsworth Street where motorists will see it as they go by coming into through my nice and quiet neighborhood. I wish the police would catch them in act! Happy Holidays.

Dear All who dedicated for the Community Beautification program,

I am humbled by the prompt support from All Who Dedicated for the Community Beautification Program.

At this moment your contractor is working on removing the graffiti on side walks with truck loaded equipment.

My neighbors will do our best to maintain litter/graffiti free and safe/peaceful exemplary neighbor to our neighbor - Alexandria Elementary School children. And I am hoping that the newly moved in neighbor who has association with gangs will respect our effort and be part of our neighbor.

Thank you very much to you All Who Dedicated for the Community Beautification Program.

Dear OCB,

I have recently utilized the 311 on-line system for graffiti removal and found the services to be excellent! The web-based reporting system is easy to use and very efficient. I was assigned a reference number for each report and then received a personal e-mail when the work is completed. Thank you for a wonderful service to the residents of Los Angeles!

Secondly, the OCB grant program for beautification projects in our city is a wonderful opportunity for our schools, neighborhoods and local collaboratives to work together for a special projects that would not have been possible without your funding. Through your grant program, I learned how to use a digital camera and used the pictures for our recent application.

Thank you, OCB!

To the Head in Charge of Graffiti removal,

I could not thank you enough for taking care of the problem on such a short notice. Quick response is very, very much appreciated. I am now looking forward to come home everyday and not see the dirty graffiti all over my retainer walls.

I Salute to The City of Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES

Thank you for removing the graffiti on my property. I know my neighbors also appreciate it. What great service!

WESTCHESTER

I had e-mailed my request for graffiti removal on Saturday afternoon, 9/13/08 , and I was very surprised that the contractor was there Sunday morning to do the job. I have to compliment him for being so prompt and diligent in his work. Not only did he cover the recent graffiti, but also he proceeded to paint the other areas of the retaining wall that were painted over a few years ago. In doing so, he made it uniform and more pleasing to the eye.

Furthermore, I do not know if this was on his assignment list, but he stopped to cover the graffiti that was on the northeast corner of the El Sereno Senior Citizens Center on 4818 Klamath Place.

Please extend my compliment to this young man.

EL SERENO

You are amazing! Thank you so much for your quick response and good job removing the graffiti at Morella Avenue yesterday! Awesome!!!

VALLEY VILLAGE

It was great. I put in the request, they came the next day. And it makes me feel safer when I look out my window at that clean wall.

LOS FELIZ

The graffiti I reported has been removed. Thank you for the prompt service.

SOUTH LOS ANGELES

I felt truly empowered as a citizen of Los Angeles when your team painted over some new grafitti on my block only two days after I reported it. The paint job was very professional, I am so satisfied. Thank you!

HOLLYWOOD
